ELSA London – An Association of London Law Students

ELSA London was formed in February 2005. We are an independent, intercollegiate, not-for-profit, non-political Association of London Law Students. ELSA London is an inclusive association - we welcome under- and postgraduates, UK and international, full-time and part-time students. ELSA London does not discriminate on the grounds of race, gender, religion or sexual orientation. In particular, we encourage membership from those who have an international outlook or those who are interested in improving the world around them by becoming active citizens. As well as gaining a further insight into legal issues within a wider, international context, ELSA London organises visits to courts, parliament, and the EU institutions. Our purpose is to add value to that which is studied at our law schools by enabling our members to participate in (and organise!) extra curricular activities. Our association aims to do the following:

•    promote the activities and achievements of London law students
•    promote the activities and achievements of London law schools
•    encourage the development of soft skills which can be transferable to any profession
•    establish an independent, friendly, non-political network of London law students
•    organise social events and activities for our members
•    create new projects which allow London law students to develop entrepreneurial skills
•    organise seminars, panel discussions, legal research groups and other academic activities
•    focus on human rights issues
•    participate in international study visits / exchanges
•    provide opportunities to participate in pro bono work experience both in the UK and abroad
•    forge links and partnerships with other student groups such as AEGEE, ILSA, ALSA and ELSA International
